5.00Lydia took me on a shopping adventure. She picked me up at my hotel via taxi and took me to the heart of the Makola Market. It was a feast for the senses. We whipped and slipped through various pathways and caverns to find some amazing items for me to take home. I ended the day buying artwork from various artisans and was delivered safe and sound to my hotel. Tip: it can be hot and crowded in the market. Bring water and wear good walking shoes. Don’t be afraid to haggle or ask for what you really want.
Wonderful experience at the Makola market!

5.00I had an amazing time at Makola market! Lydia was the perfect guide! I had specific requests such as lace fabric and wax print fabrics. Lydia repeatedly found what I was looking for. She knows the market inside out and smoothly was able to get me prices that the local pay. She had a lot of patience with me. I highly recommend Lydia as a guide for the Makola market. The experience can easily get overwhelming without an experienced guide like Lydia.
Amazing and insightful

5.00I had the absolute pleasure of exploring the Makola Market with Lydia, and I cannot recommend her enough! She is not only incredibly knowledgeable about every corner of the market but also a warm and caring guide who made me feel completely at ease throughout the experience. I will definitely be booking her again for future trips. If you’re looking for someone who knows the Makola Market inside out and offers a memorable and enjoyable experience, Lydia is the perfect choice!
Tour Guide, Lydia was a gem!

5.00I booked this tour last minute and was in for such a treat. Lydia was my tour guide and did an amazing job. She was kind and extremely knowledgeable about the market. I let her know the items I was interested in and she made the process seamless for me. I would not have been able to navigate the way we did or get the local prices from Vendors had she not been with me. The market is massive and extremely crowded so its very easy to become disoriented. However, the experience is a must see while in Accra.
